Super Quiz provides fun relief for AP Chemistry students

With AP testing finished and the stress of junior year beginning to decrease, students in teacher Kathy Nakamatsu’s AP Chemistry have embarked on a whole new challenge. 

As a way to provide a fun activity after the AP Chemistry Exam, every year Nakamatsu provides her students with a trivia game called Super Quiz. The game consists of eight teams per class, each team containing three or four people. The teams compete with the other teams within their class to avoid elimination and keep moving along in the competition. 

Each round of Super Quiz consists of 30 questions; 10 worth one point, 10 worth two points, and 10 worth three points. The team with the lowest score at the end of the round gets eliminated. Questions are pulled from pop culture, world geography, history, to name just a few. 

Students like junior Austin Du think that Super Quiz is a great way to take off the stress of the year while still keeping the brain active.

“It gives us chem kids a good way to relax in class while at the same time letting us stay sharp,” Du said.
